As a janitor of a bank not very
far from the Palace, opened the door
he was surprised to observe three rath-
err tired looking citizens seated on the
steps, the enter one OF whom held a
sealed envelope carefully in sight OF
his companions.
"Want to make a deposit, gentle
mem" asked the cashier, who shortly
arrived. "Step inside"
mo, / want to negotiate a loan,"
said the man with the envelope, land
there amt a minute to lose. i want
$1,000 quicker'n Hades can scorch a

What collaterals have you-goy-
ernment?" inquired the bank official.
Government nothin'. I've got
something that beats 4.Der-cents all
hollow. You see I've been sitting in a
poker game across the street, and
there's over 81. ooOin the pot. There
r three or four pretty strong hands
out, and as I've every cent in the CEN
ter the boys have given me thirty min
utes to raise a stake on my hand.
It's in this envelope. Just look at it,
but don't give it away TO these gentle
men. They're in the game, and came
along to see l don't monkey with the
cards"
"But, my dear sir" said the cashier,
who had quietly opened the envelope
and found it to contain four kings and
an ace, "this is entirely irregular-we
don't lend money on cards"
But you ain'tgoingto see meraised
out on a hand like THAR" whispered
the pokerist. These fellows think
I'm bluffing, and / can just clean out
the whole gang. You see we amt
playing flushes, Sc I've got 'em right
in the door"
Cant help it sir. Never heard of
such thing" said the cashier and
the disappointed applicant and friends
met the banks president, who was
himself Just from a quiet little all
night game at the Union. They ex.
planned the case again and the next
moment the superior officer darted
into the bank, seized a bag OF twen-
ties, and followed the trio. In about
ten minutes he returned with the bag
and an extra handful of twenties, which
he flung on the counter.
Here, credit five hundred to interest
account" he said to the cashier.
"Why, ] thought you had more bust
ness snap. sir. Ever play poker2"
"No, SIR"
"Ahl thought not-thought not. If
you did You'd know what good col

Lord Salisbury, in q speech before the
Primrose league In London, said: The
hollow agitation carried on during the
Easter holidays by the opposition had
failed, and the governments cause was the
country's. The present Irish crimes bill
would not compare in stringency with Mr..
Gladstone's bill of 1881. Under
the latter measure people we're imprisoned
without trial. This could not BE-
done under the present bill. The suppress
sion Of crime in Ireland did not mean the
suppression of liberty. Mr.. Gladstone.
who had spent his life in changing his opin.
ions, mentioned those who had separated
from him in the toni OF a father occurring
his children; but 1t never occurred to him
that perhaps they had something to com.
plain Of. They were unable to change
their opinions In a night as he could. Mr..
Gladstone would find il difficult to
gather around him any new recruits.
His present adherents had gone too fas to
reeede:. What had Mr.. Gladstone gained2
He had gained the eighty-six very devoted
followers OF Mr.. Parnell, who had been
charged with having approved murder, and
who had refused. or whose friends had re-
fused, him ~toenter the witness box and
the deny charge. How could Mr.. Gladstone
go before the country associated with men
who refused TO submit such a question to
the judgement OF an English jury1
The victory Mr.. Gladstone obtained in
1880 was won by a food of ~misrepresen.
tation that could not be repeated. The
conservatives werenow an organized party,
powerful to refute falsehood and to dis
seminate the truth. We repudiate the
word coercion" because by long
usage hat applied to the repression
OF political opinion, with which
we have nothing to do. The oppo-
ments OF the government endeavor to ap.
propriate, for the purpose OF attacking
the bill, q feeling which has always existed
against political repression. But the re-
pressors OF crime do not attack the liberty
ofthe people. On the contrary, they are its
greatest defenders. Gladstone tells us that
for fifteen years he believed in home rule,
but he kept his change OF conviction to
himself so cleverly that everybody believed
he still objected.

His Office.

Here is an anecdote by the Youths
Companion, which illustrates how, in
the olden time, one tithing man, at
least, magnified his Office:
Gen. H. vas the great man OF the
town. His daughters were sent to
Boston to be educated, and one of
them came home with a Bostoniover,
who is o a merchant. in New York
city. He went to church with her.
But Boston manners and New Eng
land country manners and ideas were
not the same. When the hymn was
given out, Mr.. r. found it and handed
the book to Miss H.; she bowed and
tookit. Second hymn, the same. The
old tithing man looked and frowned,
but did not quite like to offend Gen.
H. But he thought it over and over,
and his conscience accused him OF be-
ing a "respecter' of persons, and that
he thought a very fearful sin. There
fore, he took his seat in the afternoon
resolved to do his duty fearlessly,
whatever might be the result to him.
The hymn was given out. Mr.. r.
found it, and handed the bookt to Miss
H.; she bowed and took it. Rap, ran,
rap, went the old mans stick. Then
pointing to Gen. HIS pew, "You, o
Il mean Gen. HIS gal and her Bos-
ton beau! None OF your CARVINGS on
